How to set up and maintain the BD-P1000
This player actually works quite well, once you know how to properly set it up and maintain it. The unfortunate thing is that, right out of the box, it will require a firmware update. Here is everything that you need to know:
- Many of the early reviews complained that it lacked a sharp, truly hi-def picture. That is because it shipped with a faulty programmed video chip. Thankfully, the firmware updates have corrected this problem... it now delivers picture quality comparable .... Read more

PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST!
I have this player I would strongly state that you not purchase unless you $300.00 to spend what is really a "beefed up DVD player". It won't play any blu-ray discs past March of this year. I have called their "customer service" countless times with no resolution. They will not provide you with any up to date firmware nor any real support. The last rep I spoke to laughed at me. So do yourself a favor and shop for another brand. This is a big waste of money. .... Read more

I like it
I've never had a single problem with this player. It is a little slow to load but that's not a problem for me at all.. it gives me time to settle down. It works flawlessly and samsung provides free upgrades on their website. I think it's the best player for the price. .... Read more

Wait Awhile.....
We bought our 1000 about 10 mo. ago. However, we didn't start watching blu ray until recently. A couple of movies would not play, but Planet Earth would. We then checked these reviews and discovered such a thing as firmware. We went to Samsung's website and got ver. 1.4. Getting it into the dvd player was another adventure and I'm techno minus. Quite by accident, I discovered that you have to do extra things to get an .iso file to burn onto a CD. Thankfully I have ExpressBurn which told m .... Read more

Good player -- *if* you download the firmware update!
I bought this player, then followed directions to download the firmware update from Samsung's web site to my PC, burn it onto a CD, and load it into the BD-P1000. (the firmware became available approx Oct 2006, if I recall). After I did so, the software configuration in the Samsung's video processor was set correctly and the images from it improved. So don't listen to any complaints from BD-P1000 users *unless* they say that they're still unhappy after installing the firmware update.
